Re[2]: [opensuse] xhost +localhost needed for some games

I found that some games such as Plane Shift do not run on my computer. I made some search in the Web
and found that I need execute the following command before the start of X server: xhost +localhost
The was an advice regarding Quake 3 though. This worked well and I filed a bugreport asking to include
this command in startup scripts: http://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=561074
The bugreport was closed and I was redirected to this mailing list because I allegedly incorrectly installed the system (this is a fresh install about a week ago).
IMHO all programs should be able and should use the X authority
that is that ``xhost +localhost'' should be stay a nogo.
You may check your environment e.g.
echo $XAUTHORITY
xauth list
and maybe read the manual page about xauth (man 1 xauth).
If your program is not able to use X authority then it
is IMHO buggy and you may report it upstream.
I got the following output:
anixx@anixx-desktop:~> echo $XAUTHORITY
/var/run/gdm/auth-for-anixx-iLDIQ6/database
anyway, PlaneShift works well under Ubuntu at default install.
